Some of his deep throws seemed to be a little short last season, maybe because he didn't have time to step into the throws deep. When the defense is in your face you don't get to plant and throw.
I remember when JG first got on campus it was reported that he threw the balls too hard in practice and he would have to learn how to not throw it as hard.
Also a personal theory of mine is the Butch wanted the JG to give our receivers a chance at the balls so he had him under throw them a little. In 2017 our passing offense pretty much just consisted of throwing the ball high to our receivers and hoping they could make a play.
The OL in those highlights was not "terrible". They were 6th in sacks allowed last year which is not "terrible". I have looked and cannot find SEC stats on hurries or knock-downs.The o-line was terrible. Look at the hits he took when trying to let the receivers get deep. I do not believe arm strength is an issue at all.
Lol. That’s an AWFUL analogy, doesn’t remotely apply. Last time I played “go fish”, I didn’t need 10 other guys doing their jobs proficiently to help me keep from getting punched in the face before making my move in 2-3 seconds time."How good is JG at Go Fish?"
VN: "Really good but we don't know cuz his Oline."
Lol. So the OL wasn’t awful? Come on 18....they were putrid. As a matter of fact, one can easily make the case that the reason they “allowed fewer sacks” is because....wait for it....JG was much better at reading defenses, knowing where to go, and getting the ball out quicker. There, chew on that for a minute.The OL in those highlights was not "terrible". They were 6th in sacks allowed last year which is not "terrible".

Arm strength isn't an issue. At times the OL was a significant issue. His reads and slow decision making were often a problem. Also his either being disallowed or lacking the confidence to throw slants and short throws to the middle of the field made the OL's job more difficult. He has to be able to hit the middle underneath stuff when teams stunt or blitz up the middle. If he can't, DC's will bring more than the OL can account for.

Again, they had issues but 6th in the SEC in sacks isn't "brutal" and at least a good portion of the hits had to do with JG holding the ball and not being able to make good, quick decisions. They were undersized and missed a lot of assignments especially early. But JG's weaknesses made them look even worse.That o-line was brutal.
I would say that contributed. I would also say he was nowhere near where a 3rd year QB should be in those things.Lol. So the OL wasn’t awful? Come on 18....they were putrid.

it was awful. If they were 6th in sacks, it's because we didn't throw it very much.Again, they had issues but 6th in the SEC in sacks isn't "brutal" and at least a good portion of the hits had to do with JG holding the ball and not being able to make good, quick decisions.
